Banned

Hi All,

I recently found that some people have been banned. May I know why ? Just curious.

Hi, Sougata

I do not find them any more in the members list ... but banned ones still are.
" Last Activity: Today 07:37 "
more confusing :

...

I do not know what to think ...

Actually, it looks like the forum software temporarilly removes folks from some Members Lists during the banned period - Melanie

Look...

If you don't like a particular Post/Poster... then just don't answer it/them.
If you don't like another person, keep it to yourself, don't deliberately wind them up...
If you can't be polite TO EVERYONE, then just don't post.
If you got a grudge against someone, take it out elsewhere... we don't want to know here.

This isn't THIS forums rules, these are rules of behaviour in wider society.

People (newbies and some not so new too) are afraid to post for fear of being publicly riddiculed - this just isn't acceptable. It shouldn't matter how simple or stuipid your problem is, you should feel comfortable that at least you can post your question. If nobody wants to answer you, well that's another story.

We got people (human or otherwise) of all cultures, all walks of life, all religions, all political persuasions, all kinds of skill levels here. Outside in the big wide world, you can be the worst of enemies, but here, (friendly banter or occasional well placed kick up the arse aside), let's give EVERYONE the RESPECT and DECORUM with which you yourself would like to be treated.

Hi, Mel

Ok, I begin to see ...

1) We missed something this morning ( Might be in this same section ... )

2) Banning someone looks to be only Temporary, then .

Makes me sad, but I do agree ... !!!


For the fun ...

No, you missed something a day or so ago... but Admin only got round to dealing with it today.

> 2) Banning someone looks to be only Temporary, then .

Not necessarily. Some Admins have sharper claws than others (depends on the time of the month, how many beers they've had etc etc).

You can also add them to your ignore list so you won't even see their posts and be tempted to respond negatively.

yup agree, im new but have no worries posting but having read the forum from top to bottom over the last few weeks, you kinda know that some people will snipe in replies most wont , i had a stupid question which was answered quickly and courteously by several members, also as a newbie to the forum i always thank people for replying to my daft questions politeness costs nothing and people give thier time freely to help so a thanks is the least we can do :)

I wish the user ID of people in the ignore list would not show as well as some here have user I. D.s that are offensive.
